	Picus - LoveToKnow 1911
		PICUS, in Roman mythology, originally the woodpecker, the favourite bird and symbol of Mars as the god of both nature and war.
		Picus rejected her advances, and the goddess in her anger changed him into a woodpecker, which pecks impotently at the branches of trees, but still retains prophetic powers.
		The purple cloak which Picus wore fastened by a golden clasp is preserved in the plumage of the bird.

	PICUS v2.0
		In PICUS v2.0 the spatial structure and general model logic are as implemented in PICUS v1.2, though in an adapted and refined form.
		For instance, in PICUS v1.2 the vertical dimension of the forest consists of canopy cells of 5m depth.
		Soil in PICUS v2.0 is represented by any number of soil layers, each characterised by layer depth, soil type, water retention curve, and hydraulic conductivity, allowing for the calculation of vertical water exchange between layers according to Darcy´s law.

	Technique for surveying hazardous trees for decay using the Picus Sonic Tomograph technology.
		With Picus Sonic Tomograhy is a now technically possible to look into the centre of trees to see its condition without taking borings or resorting to cutting down healthy trees purely as a precaution.
		Using a recently developed machine called The Picus Sonic Tomograph it is possible to look internally into a branch or tree trunk and display a computer generated image of its condition.
		Sadly, healthy trees have been felled unnecessarily in the past as a precautionary measure.This equipment can be used on individual branches and at various hights on a tree, allowing decayed part of a tree to be removed rather than felling a whole tree.

	Journal of Arboriculture: PICUS SONIC TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF DECAY IN WHITE OAK (QUERCUS ALBA) AND ...
		Picus tomography and visual inspection were used to evaluate 27 cross-sections from 13 trees.
		The Picus Sonic Tomograph consists of a set of sensors (typically 8 to 12) that are connected to the trunk by pins (roofing nails) 0.8 to 2 mm (0.03 to 0.7 in.) in diameter (Figure 1).
		Results show that, on average, Picus shows less decay in the samples than is found by visual inspection, although the amount by which the two figures differ, in most cases, is small.

		Picus last employed the model for the state of Arkansas, which paid him and his partner $400,000 for their services.
